INTRODUCTION. 


AS  early  as  1753  Preparations  began  to  be  made 
between  Great  Britain  and  France  for  a  Struggle  to 
gain  a  Predominance  in  North  America.  The 
Defeat  of  Major  Wafhington  by  the  French  and  Indians 
at  Little  Meadows,  of  the  Britifh  under  Braddock  at  the 
Monongahela,  of  the  French  under  Baron  Diefkau  at  '^'^ 
Fort  George  by  the  Provincials,  the  Capture  of  Ofwego 
by  the  French  under  Montcalm,  the  Defeat  of  Aber-  '-^ 
crombie  by  the  French  at  Ticonderoga,  the  Capture  of 
Louifburgh  by  Amherft,  were  fome  of  the  principal 
Events  of  the  Campaigns  of  the  four  Years  preceding  the 
one  undertaken  by  Major-General  Amherft'    in   1759. 

^  Jeffrey  Amherst  was  defcended  from  an  ancient  Kentijh  Family, 
and  born  at  Riverhead  in  England,  29th  January,  1717.  He  early 
devoted  himfelf  to  the  ProfeJJion  of  Arms,  receiving  an  Enjlgn's  Com- 
mijOTion  when  only  fourteen  Years  of  Age.  At  the  Age  of  twenty-five  he 
aded  as  Aid-de-camp  to  Lord  Ligonier,  in  the  Battles  of  Dettingen  and 
Fontenoy,  and  afterwards  ferved  in  the  Staff  of  the  Duke  of  Cumberland,

IntroduEiion, 


Encouraged  by  the  Acquifition  of  Cape  Breton  and  other 
Conquefts,  the  Colonies,  on  the  Application  made  to  them 
through  their  Governours,  by  Mr.  Pitt,  prepared  vigour- 
oully  for  this  Campaign ;  and  the  vaft  and  bold  Plan  was 
formed  of  completing  the  Conqueft  of  Canada  during 
this  Year.  Three  Expeditions  were  accordingly  planned 
to  effedt  this  Objedl ;  one  under  General  Wolfe  was  to 
afcend  the  St.  Lawrence  and  reduce  Quebec;  another 

in  thojc  of  Laffeld  and  Hajlcnbcck,  {Enc.  Americana.)     From  that  Date 
his  Promotion  was  very  rapid.     In  1756  we  find  him  in  Command  of  a 
Regiment  of  Foot;  and  in  1758  he  received  orders  to  return  to  England, 
being  appointed  to  the  American  Service,  with  the  Rank  of  Major-Gcneral.' 
He  failed  from  Portjmouth  on  the  i6th  of  March,  having  the  Command 
of  the  Troops  dcjlined  for  the  Siege  of  Louijbourg,  on  the  26th  of  July 
following  he  captured  that  Place,  and  without  farther  Difficulty  took  entire 
PoJeiJion  of  Cape  Breton.     After  this  Event  he  Jucceeded  Abercrombie 
in  the  Command  of  the  Army  in  North  America,  {Allen.)    The  Capture 
of  Fort  Du  Quefne,  Niagara,  Ticonderoga  and  Crown  Point  in  due  Time 
followed.     General  Amherjt,   now  /eeing  that  the  whole  Continent  of 
North  America  was  reduced  in  Subje«ion  to  Great  Britain,  returned  to 
New  York,  and  was  received  with  all  the  RefpeS  due  to  his  public  Ser- 
vices.     The  Thanks  of  the  Houfe  of  Commons  had  already  been  trans- 
mitted to  him ;  and  among  other  honourable  Tejlimonies  of  Approbation,  in 
1 761  he  was  created  a  Knight  of  the  Bath,  {Chalmers.)     Although  'he 
had  been  appointed  Commander-in-chief  of  all  the  forces  in  America,  and 
Governor-General  of  the  Britijh  Provinces,  he  reGgned  his  Command 
Jhortly  after  the  Conclujion  of  Peace  between  Great  Britain  and  France, 
and  returned  to  London  in  December,  1763,  where  Honours  and  Favours 
awaited  him.     In  1 770  he  became  Governour  of  Guernjey  and  its  Depen- 
dencies, and  two  Years  afterwards  was  fworn  of  the  Privy  Council.     In

under  General  Prideauy  was  to  proceed  againft  Niagara  • 
and  a  third  under  Geneial  Amherft  was  to  march  againft 
Ticonderoga  and  Crown  Point ;  and  having  accompliflied 
their  Conqueft,  to  rendezvous  at  Montreal. 

Having  finifhed  the  Preparations  for  the  Expeditions 
againft  Quebec  and  Niagara,  General  Amherft  transferred 
nis  Head  Quarters  from  New  York  to  Albany,  where  his 
troops  were  aflbmbled  by  the  laft  of  May.     Yet  notwith- 
ftanding  the  continued   Exertions  of  the   General,  the 
1776  he  was  advanced  to  the  Dignity  of  the  Peerage,  when  he  took  the 
Tnle  of  Baron  Amherjl  of  Homefdale  in  the  County  of  Kent;  and  in 
1787   received  another  patent  as  Baron  Amherjl  of  Montreal,   (Rofe  \ 
From  1772  to  1782  he  officiated  as  Commander-in-chief  of  the  En  jift 
Forces,  Jerving  the  latter  Part  of  which  Period  he  afled  as  eldejl  General 
on  the  Staff  of  England.     In  1 782  he  received  the  Golden  Stick  from  the 
Kmg  but  on  the  Change  of  Adminijtration,  ujually  called  that  of  Lord 
North,  the  Command,  of  the  Army  and   the  Lieutenant-Generaljhip  of 
Ordmance  were  put  into  other  Hands.     In  1793  he  was  again  appointed 
to  the  Command  of  the  Army;  but  in   1795  he  was  fuperjeded  by  the 
Duke  of  York,  then  in  his  31JI  Year,  who  had  never  fee n  any  Service 
The  Government  upon  this  Occaf.on,  with  a  View  to  soothe  the  Feelings  of 
the  old  General,  offered  him  an  Earldom,  and  the  Rank  of  Field-MarLl

IntrodtiEiion, 


Summer  was  far  advanced  before  he  could  crofs  Lake 
George,  and  he  did  not  reach  Ticonderoga  until  the  2  2d 
of  July,  although  he  experienced  no  Oppofition  of  any 
Confequence,  from  the  Enemy,  becaufe  their  Forces  \  ere 
too  fmall  to  defend  that  Port,  much  lefs  to  attempt  ulteriour 
Operations.    The  Forces  under  the  immediate  Command 
of  this  General  exceeded  twelve  thoufand  Men,  the  greater 
Part  of  which  were  Provincials,  furnifhed  by  the  Colonies 
of  New  York,  and  New  England.     On  the  Appearance 
of  thefe  Forces  before  the   Lines  at  Ticonderoga,  the 
Enemy,  the  very  next  Day,  abandoned  the  Fort.     This 
Step  they  were  compelled  to  take,  in  Confequence  of  the 
Feeblenefs  of  the  Garrifon,  occafioned  by  the  Withdrawal 
of  the  greater  Part  of  the  Troops  to  Canada,  for  the 
Purpofe  of  repelling  the  Invafion  expeded  on  the  Side  of 
Quebec.     The  Plan  of  the  Campaign  on  the  Part  of  the 
French  feems  to  have  been  to  delay  the  invading  Army 
as  much  as  poffible,  by  the  Appearance  of  Defence,  but 
not    to   hazard    any    confiderable    Diminution    of  their 
Strength,  by  defending  Places  until  they  fhould  be  fo  com- 
pletely inverted,  as  to  render  the  Retreat  of  the  Garrifon 
imprafticable.     The  Hope   feems  to  have   been   enter- 
tained, on  their  Part,  not  without  Reafon,  that  by  retreat- 
ing from  Poft  to   Poft,   and   making  a  Show  in  their 
enfeebled  State,  of  intending  to  defend  each,  the  Advance 
of  the  Anglo-American  Army  might  be  retarded  until  the

Seafon  for  Adion  on  the  Lakes  fhould  pafs  away,  while 
their  Force  would  gradually  be  fo  concentrated  as  to 
enable  .hem  to  maintain  fome  Point  which  would  arreft 
the  Progrefs  of  the  Army  under  Amherft,  down  the  St. 
Lawrence  to  Quebec.  {Macauley,  Hijl.  N.  r.)     In  pur- 
fuance  of  this  Plan,  on  the  26th  July,  1759,  the  Day  after 
the  Redudion  of  Niagara,  Ticonderoga  furrendered,  and 
thus    paved    the   Way  for    the    Subjedlion  of  Canada 
{Chalmers.)    The  Garrifon  which  evacuated  Ticonderoga 
retired  to  Crown  Point,  and  General  Amherft,  having 
taken  PolTelTion  of  this  Port,  which  covered  the  Frontiers 
of  New  York  on   this  Side,  ordered  the  Works  to  be 
repaired,  and  allotted  a  llrong  Garrifon  for  its  Defence. 
The  Acquifition,  however,  was  not  obtained  without  fome 
Lofs ;  among  others.  Colonel  Townfhend  was  killed  by  a 
cannon  Shot,  while  reconnoitering  the  Works.  {See  p.  jj  ) 
While  Amherft  was  employed  in  the  Repairs  of  Ticonde- 
roga, he  received  Intelligence  about  the  firft  of  Auguft, 
that  the  Enemy  had  abandoned  Crown  Point.     He  im- 
mediately detached  a  Body  of  Troops  to  take  PofTeffion  of 
the  Place,  and  on  the  4th  of  the  fame  Month,  proceeded 
with  the  main  Army,  and  landed  and  encamped  at  the 
ftme  Place.     Here  he  learned  that  the  Enemy  had  retired 
to  the  Ifle  aux  Noix,  at  the  other  End  of  Lake  Champlain 
five  Leagues  fouth  of  St.  Johns ;  and  that  their  Force' 
encamped  at  that  place,  under  the  Command  of  M   de'

cffedtive  Men,  and  that  the  Lake  was  occupied  by  four 
Veflels,  mounted  with  Cannon,  and  manned  withPiquetsof 
different  Regiments,  under  the  Command  and  Diredtion  of 
M.  le  Bras,  a  Captain  of '.he  French  Navy,  aflirted  by  M.  dc 
Rigal,  and  other  fea  Officers.     In  Confequence  of  this  In- 
foriration.  General  Amherft  caufed  fcveral  VelTels  of  War 
to  be  conftructed,  under  the  Superintendence  of  Captain 
Loring,  in  order  that  he  might  obtain  the  Command  of  the 
Lake.     Theic  being  completed  and  equipped,  the  General 
embarked  with  the  whole  Army  in  Batteaux,  on  the 
eleventh  of  Oftober,  and  proceeded  down  the  Lake  fome 
Diftance,  but  owing  to  the  Tempefts  which  enfued,  was 
obliged  to  return  again  to  Crown  Point,  and  give  over  the 
Defign  of  penetrating  into  Canada  for  the  Prefent.    In  the 
mean  Time,  he  put  his  Army  into  winter  Quarters,  and 
ftrengthened  the  Works  at  Crown  Point.     He  alfo  caufed 
a  Road  to  be  opened  from  Ticonderoga  to  Maffachufetts 
and  New  Hampfliire,  to  the  End  ihat  Communications 
might  be  had  with  thofe  Provinces  by  more  dired:  Routes, 
than  by  the  Way  of  the  Hudfon  and  Albany.     Captain 
Loring  however,  went  down  the  Lake  and  fell  in  with  the 
French  naval  Force,  which  he  defeated  an.^  deftroyed, 
whereby  the  Command  of  its  Waters  came  into  the  Hands 
of  the  Invaders.   {Macauleys  Hiji.  N.  r,  ///,  42.) 

Thus  terminated  the  memorable  Campaign  of  1759,

Name  of"  tiieDutcli  Brigade,"  from  the 
Circumftancc  of  its  being  at  the  Time

cutting    his    Way    through   the  French 
Lines  at  the  famous  Siege  of  Bcrgen-op- 
Zoom,    Lieutenant  Maclean  was  taken 
Prifoner,   and  immediately  admitted  to 
Parole    by   General    Lowendahl,    with 
this  complimentary  Addrefs :   "  Had  all 
conduced  themfelvcs  as  you  and  your 
brave  Corps  have  done,  I  fliould  not

Having  left  the  Dutch  Service,  he  ob- 
tained a  Company  in  the  6zd,  or  Firlt

ordered  to  St.  Johns  with  a  Party  of  Mili- 
tia, but.got  only  as  far  as  St.  Denis,  when

of  the  ill,  and  P'athcr  of  the  3d,  Vifcount 
Gage  of  Calllcbar,  in  the  County  of 
Mayo,  Ireland.  In  1755  he  accom- 
panied the  Expedition  under  General 
Braddock,  againil  Fort  Duquefnc,  as 
Lieutenant-Colonel  of  the  44th  Regi- 
ment, and  commanded  the  Vanguard  in 
the  fatal  Engagement  of  the  9th  July, 
when  he  was  (lightly  Wounded.  After 
the  Battle  he  carried  the  General  ofF  the 
Field  (Entick,  1,146).  InMay,i758, 
he  was  appointed  Colonel  of  the  80th 
Regiment,  and  Brig.  General  (Knox's 
Journal,  I,  212),  and  on  the  8th  De- 
cember following  married  Margaret, 
daughter  of  Peter  Kemble,  Efcj.,  Prefi- 
dent  of  the  Council  of  New  Jerfey 
(Debrett).  In  1759  he  accompanied 
the  Expedition  under  General  Amherll, 
and  led  the  2d  Column  againft  Fort 
Ticonderoga,  which,  howe\  er,  had  been 
abandoned  by  the  French  before  the 
Arrival  of  the  Englifh  Troops.  On 
learning  the  Death  of  General  Prideaux, 
General  Amherll  difpatched  Brigadier 
Gage  on  the  28th  July  to  take  Command 
of  that  Divifion  of  the  Army,  but  Fort 
Niagara  had  already  been  reduced  by 
Sir  William  Johnfon  (Knox,  I,  403; 
Entick,  IV,  137).  On  the  1 1  th  July, 
of  the  following  Year,  he  departed  from 
Ofwego  with  the  Army  to  Montreal,  of 
which  city  he  was  appointed  Governor, 
after  its  Capitulation.  He  was  promoted 
in  May,  1761,  to  the  Rank  of  Major- 
General,  and  in  March  following  became 


Colonel  of  the  2  2d  Regiment  of  Font. 
At  the  Departure  of  General  Amherll 
for  England  in  1763,    Major-General 
Gage  fucceedcd  him  as  Commander-in- 
Chief  of  his  Majefty's  Forces  in  North 
America.     He  rofe  to  be  Licutcnant- 
General  in  1770,  and  rcfidcd  in  New 
York  until    May,  1774,    when   he   re- 
moved to  Bofton,  on   being  appointed 
Governor  of    MalTachufctts.     He    was 
a  fuitable  Inllrument  for  executing   the 
Purpofes  of  a  tyrannical  Minillry  and 
Parliament.       Several    Regiments    foon 
followed   him,    and  he  began  to  repair 
the    Fortificadons    upon   Bofton   Neck. 
The  Powder  in  the  Arlenal  in  Charles- 
town  was  feizcd ;  detachments  were  fent 
out  to   take   pofTcfTion  of  the   Stores  in 
Salem  and  Concord  and   the  Batde  of 
Lexington  became  the  Signal  of  War. 
In  May,  1775,  the  Provincial  Congrefs 
declared  Gage  to  be  an  inveterate  Enemy 
of  the  Country,  difqualificd  from  ferving 
the  Colony  as  Governor  and  unworthy 
of  obedience.     From  this  time  the  exer- 
cifc  of  his   fundlioiis   was  confined   to 
Bollon.     In  June  he  ifTucd  a  Proclama- 
tion, offering  Pardon  to  all  the  Rebels 
excepting    Samuel    Adams    and    John 
Hancock,  and  proclaimed  Martial  Law ; 
but  the  affair  of  Breed's  Hill,  a  few  days 
afterwards,  proved  to  him  that  he  had 
miftaken  the  charafter  of  the  Americans. 
In  Oftober  he  embarked  for  England, 
and  was  fucceedcd  in  the  Command  by 
Sir  William  Howe.     His  conduft  to-

1  Israel  Putnam  was  bom  in  Salem, 
Maflacluifetts,  January  7th,  171 8.  In 
i739  he  removed  to  Pomfret,  Conn. 
In  1755  he  was  appointed  Lieutenant  of 
the  6tli  Company  of  the  3d  Connefticut 
Regiment,  and  was  afterwards  promoted 
to  be  Captain.  He  rendered  nuich  Ser- 
vice to  the  Army  in  the  neighborhood 
of  Crown  Point,  as  may  be  feen  by  the 
Reports  of  his  fcouting  Parties  in  New 
York  Doc.  Hill.  IV.  In  1756,  wh.'e 
near  Ticonderoga,  he  was  repeatedly  in 
the  moll  imminent  Danger.  He  efcapcd 
in  an  Adventure  one  Night  with  twelve 
bullet  Holes  in  his  Blanket.  In  1757, 
the  Legiflature  of  Connefticut  conferred 
the  Commiflion  of  Major  on  Putnam, 
who  ferved  that  Year  under  Gen.  Webb 
at  Fort  Edward,  and  was  attached  to  the 
Army  under  Abercrombie  in  1758.  In 
Atiguft  of  that  Year  he  was  fcnt  out  with 
feveral  hundred  Men  to  "vatchthe  Mo- 


tions of  the  Enemy.  Being  ambufcaded 
by  a  Party  of  equal  Numbers,  a  general 
but  irregular  Aftion  took  Place.  He  had 
difcharged  his  Fufee  feveral  Times,  but  at 
length  it  miflcd  Fire  while  its  Muzzle 
was  prcfented  to  the  Breall  of  a  Savage, 
who,  with  his  lifted  Hatchet  and  a  tre- 
mendous War-whoop,  compelled  him  to 
Surrender,  and  then  bound  him  to  a  Tree. 
At  Night  he  was  ftript,  and  a  Fire  kindled 
to  Roaft  him  alive  ;  but  a  French  Officer 
faved  him.  The  next  Day  he  arrived  at 
Ticonderoga,  and  thence  he  was  carried 
a  Prifoner  to  Montreal.  He  was  foon 
after  exchanged  through  the  ingenuity  of 
his  fellow  Prifoner,  Colonel  Schuyler, 
and  joined  the  Army  under  Amhcrll,  as 
Lieutenant-Colonel  in  the  4th  Connefti- 
cut  Regiment.  In  1 760  he  accompanied 
the  Army  from  Ofwcgo  to  Montreal. 
In  1762,  commanded  his  Regiment  in 
the  Attack  on  Havana.     In  1 763  he  rofc

For  the  Day  to-morrow,  Colo.  Grant ;  Field  Officers 


to  the  Rank  o  Colonel,  and  accompa- 
nied an  Expedition  againll  the  Weftcrn 
Indians,  after  which  he  returned  to   his 
Farm.     In  1 770,  he  went  to  the  Miflis- 
fippi  River  to  fcleft  fome  Lands,  but  re- 
turned foon  after,  and  was  ploughing  in 
his  Field  in  1 7  7  5 ,  when  he  heard  the  News 
of  the  Battle  of  Lexington.      He  imme- 
diately unyoked  his  Team,  left  his  Plow 
on  the  Spot,  and  without  changing  his 
Clothes  fet  off  for  Cambridge.     In  the 
Batde  of  Bunker's  Hill  he  exhibited  his 
ufual  Intrepidity.     When  the  Army  was 
organized  by  Gen.  Wafliington  at  Cam- 
bridge,  Putnam,   who  had  been  eleded 
Major-General  in  June,  177?;,  was  ap- 
pointed to   command  the  Rcfervc.     l\\ 
Augult,     1776,     he    was    llationed    at 
Brooklyn,   on  Long  Ifland.      After  the 
Defeat   of  our  Army  he  went  to  New 
York   and   was  very   ferviceable  in  the 
City  and  Neighborhood.    In  October  or 
November  he  was  font  to  Philadelphia 


to  fortify  that  City  ;  in  January,    1777, 
was  direded  to   take  Port  at  Princeton, 
where  he  continued  until  the  following 
Spring,  when  he  was  appointed  to  the 
Command  of  a   feparate  Army  in  the 
Highlands   of  New  York.     After    the 
Lofs   of  Fort  Montgomery,  the   Com- 
mander-in-Chief determined    to    build 
another   Fortification,   and  he  dircfted 
Putnam  to  fix  upon  the  Site.     To  him 
belongs  the  Praife  of  having  chofcn  Wcfl 
Point.     The  Campaign  of  1779,  which 
was  principally   fpent  in  flrengthening 
the  Works  at  this    Place,    finifhed  the 
military  Career  of  Putnam.    A  paralytic 
Affedion  impaired  the  Activity  of  his 
Body,    and  he  pafTed  the  Remainder  of 
his  Days  in  Retirement,  retaining  his  re- 
lifh  for  Enjoyment,  his  ftrength  of  Me- 
mory, and  all  the  Faculties  cf  his  Mind. 
He  died  at  Brooklyn,  Conn.,  May  29, 
1790,  aged  72.       ■

Day  is  over.  The  Grenadiers  and  Brigade  of  Royall  and 
late  Forbes,  are  during  the  Campaign  to  be  drawn  up  two 
deep  on  all  Services  ;  this  makes  no  alteration  in  the  Port-

Divifions,  Sub  Divifions  and  Platoons,  or  in  the  Front 
and  Flank,  and  Rear  and  Flank  Platoons.  When  a  Bat" 
is  told  off  in  Platoons  on  the  Parade,  the  whole  Batt"  is 
to  be  three  deep,  the  two  centre  Platoons  clofe,  and  an 
Intervall  of  half  the  Front  of  a  Platoon  left  between  each 
Platoon  from  the  one  on  the  Right  of  the  Centre  to  the 
Platoon  on  the  Right  of  the  Batt"  ;  the  fame  is  to  be  ob- 
ferved  from  the  Platoon  on  the  Left  of  the  Centre  to  the 
Platoon  on  the  Left  of  the  Batt".  The  Commanding 
Officer  will  then  order  the  Officers  commanding  Platoons 
to  form  them  two  deep,  which  they  will  do  by  deviding 
the  rear  Rank,  thofe  on  the  Right  of  the  Colours,  facing

of  the  Colours ;  the  fecond  Half  forms  in  the  like  Manner 
on  the  Right  and  Left  of  the  2d  Rank.     If  there  is  an 
odd  Man  the  Officer  takes  what  Man  he  chafes  as  his 
Second.     This  Method  is  always  to  be  pradifed,  that  every 
Officer  commanding  a  Platoon  may  have  the  Men  of  the 
third  Rank  oppofite  to  him,  that  in  cafe  the  Service  re- 
quire it,  the  whole  Batt"  could  be  formed  three  deep  in  an 
inffant,  by  the  Officers  of  the  Platoons  forming  the  rear 
Rank  as  they  were,  which  is  never  to  be  done  unlefs  the 
Officer  commanding  the  Batt"  orders  it.     The  Men  to  b^ 
acquainted  that  this  is  ordered,  as  the  Enemy  has.  very  few 
regular  Troops  to  oppofe  us;  and  that  no  yelling  of  Indians 
or  iire  of  Canadians  can  poffibly  brake  their  Rank,  if  the 
Men  are  filent,  attentive  and  obedient  to  their  Officers, 
who  will  led  them  to  the  Enemy,  and  their  Silence  will 
terrifie  the  Enemy  more  then  any  Huzzeaing  or  Noife  they 
can  make ;  which  the  Generall  abfolutely  forbids, and  their 
attention  and  obedience  to  the  Officers  who  command 
Platoons  will  enfure  Succefs  to  his  Majeflys  Arms.     The 
Geni  Court  Martial,  of  which  Collo.  Ruggles  was  Prefi- 
dent,  is  defolved.     The  Genl  has  approved  of  the  Sentence 
of  the  above  Genl  Court  Martial.     George  Dougherty  of 
the  Innifldlling  Regiment,  accufed  of  Sufpicion  of  braking 
open  a  Trunk,  is  judged  not  guilty  of  the  Crime  laid  to

2  Abijah  Willard  was  the  Son  of 
Colonel  Samuel  Willard  of  Lancalter, 
Worccller  County,  Mafs.,  where  he  was 
born  in  the  Year  1722.  He  ferved  in

and  was  a  Captain  in  Regiment  at  the 
Battle  of  Ticondcroga  in  1758,  when  he 
was  wounded.  In  the  prefent  Expedi-

in  a  comparatively  fhort  Time,  and  in 
1760  entered  Montreal  by  Way  of  the 
Lakes,  with  the  Army  under  the  command 
of  Brigadier-General  Haviland  (Supra

of  which  he  became  very  unpopular. 
While  at  Union,  Conn.,  he  was  fci/.ed 
and  held  through  the  Night  in  confine- 
ment, and  next  Day  found  himfclf 
obliged  to  Sign  a  Declaration  that  he 
would  not  Aft,  afking  at  the  fame  Time 
forgivenefs  for  having  taken  the  Oath  of 
Office.  On  the  Morning  of  the  19th  of 
April,  1775,  he  mounted  his  Horie  and 
was  proceeding  to  Beverly,  where  he  had 
a  Farm,  to  fuperintend  the  Spring  Work. 
While  on  his  Way  the  uprifing  of  the 
Country  led  him  to  fear  for  his  perfonal 
Safety  and  he  turned  his  Horfe's  Head 
towards  Bollon,  where  he  propofed 
remaining  only  a  few  Days.  '  Te  was 
caught  by  Gage's  Proclamation  ui  a  Trap 
and  was  too  far  conipromifed  to  return 
amongll  his  old  Neigbors.  He  fubfe- 
qucntly  accompanied  the  Royal  Arniv  to 
Halifax.     Though  offered  a  Commillion 


by  General  Howe,  he  refufed,  faying 
"  he  (hould  never  Fight  againfl:  his  Coun- 
try." He  was  afterwards  Commiffary 
to  the  Britifh  Troops  at  New  York,  and 
in  1 77H  was  profcribcd  and  his  Property 
confifcated.  In  July,  1 783,  he  was  one 
oftlie  55  Petitioners  in  the  City  of  New 
York  to  General  Carleton,  for  Lands  in 
Nova  Scotia.  He  fctdcd  in  New  Brunf- 
wick  and  called  the  Town  Lancaik'r, 
after  his  native  Place  in  Maffachufetts! 
He  was  a  Member  of  the  Provincial 
Council  and  died  at  Lancaller,  N.  B.,  in 
May,  1 789,  aged  61  Years.  His  Ellate 
Maflachulctts  has  been  redeemed  by  his 
Family  and  now  belongs  to  his  only  ilir- 
viving  Daughter  and  Child,  Mrs.  linna

1  Jonathan  Carver,  the  well  known 

cntcrprifing  traveler,  was  a  Native,  it  is 
belicvcii,  of  Canterbury,  Ct.,  and  was 
born  ill  1732.  He  loll  his  Father  (who 
was  a  Jiilliee  of  the  Peace)  when  he  was 
only  five  Years  of  Age.  He  was  intended 
for  the  profeilion  of  Medieine,  which 
he  iiuitted  for  a  Military  Life.  He 
fcrved  with  Reputation  in  the  l'',xpedition 
carried  on  acrofs  the  Lakes  againit 
Canada.  After  the  Peace  he  formed 
the  refolution  of  Exploring  the  moll  in- 
terior Parts  of  North  America,  and  of 
even  penetrating  to  the  Pacific  Ocean, 
over  that  broad  Part  of  the  Continent 
which  lies  between  the  forty-third  and 
the  forty-fixth  degrees  of  North  Latitude. 
As  the  Knglifli  had  come  in  pf)flenion 
of  a  vail  Territory  by  the  Conqucll  of 
Canada,  he  wiihed  to  render  this  Acqui- 
fition  prf)fitable  to  his  Country,  while  he 
gratified  his  Tallc  for  Adventures,  He 
believed  that  the  French  had  intentionally 
kept  other  Nations  ignorant  ot  the  inte- 
rior Parts  o\  North  America.  He  hoped 
to  facilitate  the  difcovery  of  a  North- 
well  PalTage,  or  of  a  Communicaiion 
between  the  Hudfon's  Bay  and  the  Pacific 
Ocean.  If  he  could  effect  the  ellablifh- 
inent  of  a  Poll  on  the  Straits  of  Aimian.he 


fiippofed  he  fliould  thus  open  a  Channel 
for  conveying  Intelligence  to  China  and 
the  Knglilh  Settlements  in  tjje  Kail  Indies 
with  greater  expedition  than  by  a  tedious 
Voyage  by  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope  or 
the  Straits  of  Magellan.  With  thele 
Views  he  fet  out  from  Bollon  in  1766, 
and  in  September  of  that  Year  arrived  at 
Michillimakinac,  the  moll  interior  Eng- 
lilli  Poll.  He  applied  to  Major  Rogers, 
the  Governor,  to  tiirnifli  him  w  ith  a  pro- 
per Aflbrtment  of  Goods,  as  a  Prelcnt 
for  the  Indians  living  in  the  Track  which 
he  intended  to  purfue.  Receiving  a  Sup- 
ply in  part,  it  was  promiled  that  the 
remainder  fliouId  be  fent  to  him  when 
he  reached  the  Falls  of  St.  Anthony  in 
the  River  Miffillippi.  In  conlecjuence 
of  the  failure  of  the  Goods,  he  found  it 
neceffary  to  return  to  Prairie  la  Chien 
in  the  Spring  of  1767.  Being  thus  re- 
tarded in  his  Progrefs  wellward,  he 
determined  to  dired  his  Courfe  north- 
ward, that  by  finding  a  communication 
between  the  Miffifllppi  and  Lake  Supe- 
rior, he  might  meet  the  Traders  at  the 
grand  Portage  at  the  northwell  Sitle  of 
the  Lake.  Of  them  he  intended  to 
Purchale  the  Goods  which  he  needed, 
and   tlien  to   purfue  his  Journey  by  the

Office  all  his  Charts  and  Journals,  with 
every  Paper  relating  to  the  Difcoverics 
which  he  had  made.     In  order  to  obey 
this  Command  he  was  obliged  to  pur- 
chafe  them  from  the  Bookfcller.     It  was 
not  until  ten   Years  after,  that   he  pub- 
hflied  an  Account  of  his  Travels.     Being 
dilappointed  in  his  Hopes  of  Preferment, 
he  became  Clerk  of  the  Lottery.     As  he

Way  of  the  Lakes  La  Pluye,  du  Bois  and 
Ouinipique  to  the  Heads  of  the  River  of

fore the  Traders  had  returned  to  Michil- 
limakinac,  but    they  could   not   furnilh 
him  with  Goods.     Thus  difappointed  a 
fccond  Time,  he  continued  fome  Months 
on  the  North  and  Eall  Borders  of  Lake 
Superior,  exploring  the  Bays  and  Rivers 
which   empty  thcmfclves  into  that  large 
Body  of  Water,  and  carefully  obferving 
the  natural  Produdions  of  the  Country, 
and  the   Cuiloms  and   Manners  of  the

this     Expedition   two    Years    and    fi\e 
Months,  and  during  that  Time  traveled 
near  feven  thoufand  Miles.     As  foon  as
